Gender variant (trans or transgender) people are relatively rarely seen in GP surgeries. Many GPs say that they lack the knowledge to treat those experiencinggender variant conditions and, consequently, they are not confident to do so.The first part of this publication provides an overview of care for trans people that is particularly applicable to GPs. Hormone therapy is central to transgender primarycare, and issues such as assessment and diagnosis are also relevant to general practice. These topics are discussed in greater detail in Annexes C and D. Clinical care for gender variant people should be provided within a framework of good practice that emphasises patient autonomy, allows for the wide variety of needs among trans people and is flexible in its clinical responses to those needs. It should also take account... less

I just wished you were in the states to give such accurate content, but then under this current administration and political conflict I think you might find it quite egregious,
There was a time in the states when we were moving in a very positive direction, sadly we have faltered and at best stagnated our trans direction.

''Understandably, my wife believes that it is unreasonable for her to continue to live with me as a woman and now wants a divorce. She does not want to wait two years. Under current divorce laws, the only option she has is to divorce me is on the grounds of ‘unreasonable behaviour’; given that it would be ‘unreasonable’ for the courts to expect her to live with me in a lesbian relationship now that I have revealed to her that I have always considered myself to have been female''.

It will be interesting to see how whether the gender discrimination in GMP is upheld in the Lloyds case and if so, whether this ECJ ruling will be mentioned. Thanks again,

Makes no sense, some of the subjects might be 4-5 pages long, it's like reading a book backwards. eg the initial post being at the foot of page 5.

Introduction The role of the androgen receptor in CNS masculinization or the absence of same in male feminisation The medial posterior region of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTMP) and the locus coeruleus (LC) show opposite patterns of sexual dimorphism. The BSTMP in males is greater in volume and number of neurons than in females (male N female) while in the LC, the opposite is true (female N male). To investigate the possible role of the androgen receptor (AR) in the masculinization of these two structures, males with the testicular feminization mutation (Tfm) were compared to their control littermate males. No differences were seen in the number of neurons of the BSTMP between Tfm and their control littermate males, while in the LC, Tfm males have a greater number of neurons than their control littermate males. These results show that the AR is involved in the control of neuron number in the LC but not in the BSTMP. Results based on the LC suggest that when females have a larger... less

Most people have a clearly defined sex:For most, but not all people, their sex may be defined in terms of any one of the following three factors:
Their genetic or biological sex: Every cell in a person's body contains sex chromosomes that determine a person's genetic sex. In almost all cases, these are XX chromosomes for females, and XY for males.
Their gender identity: This involves their "internal sense of being either male or female."
Their physiological gender: The genitalia of the vast majority of newborns are clearly either male or female, and remain so throughout life. Their appearance determines the sex that they are assigned at birth.
The vast majority of people are cisgendered: they will mature with their biological sex, gender identity and physiological gender in harmony. For example, for a typical woman:
Each cell in a her body will contain 46 chromosomes including a pair of XX sex chromosomes -- commonly written 46,XX.
She will identify as a female. By the age of one, she... less
Definition & Synopsis of the Etiology
of Gender Variance
1. Severe gender variance in adults (sometimes still referred to as gender
dysphoria) describes an inconsistency between the physical phenotype
and the gender identity1, that is, the self identification as a
man or as a woman. When this is experienced in a very extreme
form, known as transsexualism2, individuals may need to adapt their
phenotype through hormones and surgery to make it congruent with
their gender identity. Individuals experiencing this condition are referred
to as trans people, that is, trans men (those who transition
from living as women to living as men) and trans women (those who
transition from living as men to living as women).
2. Transsexualism can be considered to be a neuro-developmental... less

Well the forums are totally messed up, but feel the need to comment. My feelings about the new proposed rules about self identification as to being transgendered are wrong, people will be changing their gender on a daily basis, with some it will be to suit either their perverted needs or to take advantage of relevant criminal laws.Not only that, it will reflect badly on the genuine transgendered person, to change gender exacts a terrible toll on some, a commitment to do it right, health services, gender clinics, government departments with reference to documentation will be overwhelming.For every single adverse public exposure of a trans committed crime, we will all be judged in a negative way, it's bad now, but with the self identification process it will get a lot worse. less

Some people are exempt which includes visually impaired and blind people like myself. I would still wear a mask simply because I don't mind following the advice however...... I have discovered a problem for me. I have done it twice this week wearing a mask, baseball and sunglasses walking down and back home from the chemist and one of the Co-op shops in Newent which was alright, however the problem came when I was trying to look at the items I was looking at and expiry date for the milks and such with the mask on and my visual aid / monocular / small telescope which wasn't as easy thing to do. less

Actually, I sense that I should perhaps be going,HI!?Because I get the sense that Gender Society has gone very quiet at present. Is that the case, or is it just me? Paranoia is another English personality trait, I suspect..Personally, Tranny-web and then subsequently Gender Society has served to be a critical, considerate and crucial component of me understanding who I am. Without this site, my eyes may be less open, my mind still confused but at least for understandable reasons, and my transsexual community perhaps dormant.Too many online friends and supporters here to mention, but if you know me then I think you know who I am referring to. Some of us who visit here may not have transitioned, grown-up and moved on. For those people this site (and let's be honest, there are others too) are essential, providing opportunities for contact and release from the... less

I first came to TW in late 2005. I was in a bad way, with thoughts of ending my life. I had lived, off and on as female for a number of years at the time I found TW. I was, also, on my 10th year of living with HIV. I was just beginning to come out and was seeing a therapist. Well, ladies, that did not go very well. My identity was not accepted well. I withdrew back to the person everyone knew. Since that time, I married a great woman. She is unaware of my other side. Honestly, I would rather she not know the half of me that has been me since birth. I have purged several times since I was a child. I guess, this time is the last. I do not relish living without the feeling of being a woman. I do not like being a man. I have always felt as if I am a female. I have been this way for 60 years. I know I will never be the pretty girl that men drooled at when I was myself when I was so much younger. But, life is not always the dream in our heads. I... less

My Pal and best buddy for quite a while during one of the most traumatic times in my life: SARAH CONOR. I miss her so much and would so love her to get in touch again. I still miss her even if i havent seen or spoken to her in so long. Every so often i wonder what she is doing? Is she happy? Did she ever reach her goal? Sarah i still got the pictures you took when you was modeling. they will remain with me until you claim them.

Is it me or are they targeting anybody outside the NHS who handles trans kids? Also, some of the GMC charges are that he is unqualified in the field. Looking at his credentials he seems to have enough to satisfy. Even so. How do you become qualified in this field? If having 1600 patients doesn't make you an expert, what does?
This is another posting of the article:
I find the responses interesting. Is it me or are there a few negative mums getting on the band wagon? I mean, what mother would join a forum with the tag "Sexnotgender"? I get the feeling that a load of trolls have just signed up dummy accounts just to rant.
